We investigated the effects of international financial inflows (remittances, foreign direct investment and foreign aid) on economic complexity in Africa and the moderation role of institutional quality. We used the dynamic system GMM framework for a panel of 31 African countries over the period 2010–2020. We find that these international financial inflows are significant drivers of economic complexity in Africa, and that institutional quality is significantly moderating and enhancing their effects on economic complexity. Among other recommendations, we encourage policymakers in Africa to continually create an enabling environment to attract these financial inflows in order to promote sustainable investment and economic growth.
